Abstract
The market for e-commerce systems is saturated with more than
60 different solutions that compete and try to accommodate
different needs. However, it appears that three main platforms
account for roughly half of the market share: Magento,
PrestaShop, and WooCommerce. This paper evaluates these
platforms from a software ecosystems health perspective. By
shedding light on the success factors of these ecosystems, we aim
at establishing what makes an e-commerce ecosystem healthy.
This knowledge provides ecosystem orchestrators with an
overview of the current health of these ecosystems, and
researchers with an application of ecosystem health assessment.
